READ: Betting Tips & Match Predictions (2025) Big Bash Predictions Time for some Big Bash betting tips and predictions, which should help you place more informed bets. With a balanced side and proven match winners in their ranks, both the Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers have the best chance of winning the tournament. The Hobart Hurricanes, Sydney Thunder, and Adelaide Strikers too have the capability to win the trophy, and at least two of them will surely qualify for the playoffs. Ben McDermott, Tim David, and Mitchell Marsh can come out as the top batters of the tournament. We can expect Sean Abbott, Jason Behrendorff, and Ben Dwarshuis to be the pick of the bowlers. Spinners will play an important role at venues like Sydney, Geelong, and Hobart, whereas pacers will dominate at venues like the MCG, Perth, and the Gabba, Brisbane. On average, we can expect most of the matches to be high-scoring affairs. Big Bash League 2023-24: Overview The 2023-24 Big Bash League is the 13th edition of the tournament.

Sydney Sixers Captain: Moises Henriques Overseas players: James Vince and Tom Curran (England), Izharulhaq Naveed (Afghanistan) Best performance: Champions in 2011-12, 2019-20, 2020-21 2022-23 Standing: 2nd 2022-23 Leading runscorer: Jordan Silk (363) 2022-23 Leading wicket-taker: Sean Abbott (29) Key players: Jordan Silk, Sean Abbott, Ben Dwarshuis Team analysis: The Sixers had an impressive season last time, finishing second in the league stage. This time, too, they have what it takes to win, with their biggest strength lying in their bowling, and the batters are equally capable. The overseas recruits will be available throughout the league stage, while the experienced Steve Smith will join the squad after the Pakistan series. 2. Perth Scorchers Captain: Ashton Turner Overseas players: Zak Crawley and Laurie Evans (England) Best performance: Champions in 2013-14, 2014-15, 2016-17, 2021-22, 2022-23 2022-23 Standing: Winner 2022-23 Leading runscorer: Aaron Hardie (460) 2022-23 Leading wicket-taker: Andrew Tye (26) Key players: Mitchell Marsh, Aaron Hardie, Jason Behrendorff Team analysis: The defending champions will be eyeing their sixth title and becoming the first team to win three BBL titles in a row. The Scorchers are the most successful team in BBL’s history, and this season too, they are the biggest contender for the championship. They have retained the same squad and are the team to beat with a perfect mix of explosive batters, all-rounders, and quality fast bowlers. 3. Hobart Hurricanes Captain: Nathan Ellis Overseas players: Chris Jordan and Sam Hain (England), Corey Anderson (New Zealand) Best performance: Runner-up in 2013-14, 2017-18 2022-23 Standing: 6th 2022-23 Leading runscorer: Tim David (354) 2022-23 Leading wicket-taker: Riley Meredith (21) Key players: Tim David, Ben McDermott, Nathan Ellis Team analysis: Another potential contender for the trophy, the Hobart Hurricanes have made some great signings this season and look top-notch on paper. Their biggest strengths, however, are their all-rounders and a great mix of utility players. The side has a good combination of hard hitters who can step up the run rate and pacers who can hit the deck hard. 4. Adelaide Strikers Captain: Travis Head Overseas players: Adam Hose and Jamie Overton (England), Ben Manenti (Italy) Best performance: Champions in 2017-18 2022-23 Standing: 7th 2022-23 Leading runscorer: Matthew Short (458) 2022-23 Leading wicket-taker: Wes Agar (18) Key players: Travis Head, Matthew Short, Henry Thornton Team analysis: Despite having players like Matthew Short and Rashid Khan in their ranks, the Strikers had a poor season last time, securing only five victories. This season, they have been dealt a big blow with Rashid Khan withdrawing from the tournament due to back surgery. However, they have signed good domestic players, and we expect them to perform better this season. 5. Brisbane Heat Captain: Usman Khawaja Overseas players: Colin Munro and Josh Brown (New Zealand), Paul Walter and Sam Billings (England) Best Performance: Champions in 2012-13 2022-23 Standing: Runner-up 2022-23 Leading runscorer: Jimmy Peirson (334) 2022-23 Leading wicket-taker: Michael Neser (26) Key players: Jimmy Peirson, Michael Neser, Usman Khawaja Team analysis: The runners-up of the last edition, the Brisbane Heat gave a tough fight in the playoff stage. This season, however, their chances are slim, as some of their key bowlers won’t be available. Moreover, their batting looks weak on paper, as the side lacks power hitters. Even their overseas players would be available for only the first nine games. 6. Sydney Thunder Captain: Chris Green Overseas players: Alex Hales (England) and Zaman Khan (Pakistan) Best performance: Champions in 2015-16 2022-23 Standing: 4th 2022-23 Leading runscorer: Oliver Davies (333) 2022-23 Leading wicket-taker: Daniel Sams (18) Key players: Daniel Sams, Tanveer Sangha, Oliver Davies Team analysis: Another potential team to qualify for playoffs, Sydney Thunder finished fourth last season. The Franchise made brilliant signings in the draft pick and their squad boasts of T20 specialists that have experience playing in different leagues around the world. Their international recruits would be available throughout the season. They have a good team balance and overall, can give other teams a run for their money for the coveted trophy. 7. Melbourne Stars Captain: Glenn Maxwell Overseas players: Liam Dawson (England), Usama Mir, Haris Rauf, Imad Wasim (Pakistan) Best performance: Runner-up in 2015-16, 2018-19, 2019-20 2022-23 Standing: Bottom of points table 2022-23 Leading runscorer: Joe Clarke (381) 2022-23 Leading wicket-taker: Luke Wood (20) Key players: Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Haris Rauf Team analysis: The Melbourne Stars had a forgettable outing last season, finishing at the bottom of the table. This season, too, they do not seem very promising. Barring skipper Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis, they clearly lack T20 specialists. To make matters worse, power hitter Harry Brook has been ruled out of the tournament. We expect them to finish among the bottom rungs of the table. 8. Melbourne Renegades Captain: Nic Maddinson Overseas players: Quinton De Kock (South Africa) and Mujeeb ur Rahman (Afghanistan) Best performance: Champions in 2018-19 2022-23 Standing: 3rd 2022-23 Leading runscorer: Aaron Finch (428) 2022-23 Leading wicket-taker: Tom Rogers (23) Key players: Quinton De Kock, Aaron Finch, Adam Zampa Team analysis: The Melbourne Renegades had a good season last time, finishing in third place after the league stage. While they have signed good bowlers for their squad, the lack of T20 specialist batters and quality all-rounders could cost them the season. Their international recruits would also leave midway.
